SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â San Diego is now part of the nationwide Yellow Whistle Campaign.
The program was first launched in New York City in April in response to a growing number of reported incidents involving violence and crime against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Mira Mesa is home to San Diego s largest Filipino community. Local leaders kicked off the local campaign Monday at the Broken Yolk Cafe on Mira Mesa Boulevard. The anti-Asian Pacific Islander hate has increased in a way that we need to blow a whistle to debunk the myth that Asian Pacific Americans are silent, said Dr. Lilly Cheng.
